Fungisai dress causes controversy

Musician Fungisai Zvakavapano-Mashavave has lashed out at people whom she labelled “cyber bullies” who were unhappy with her dressing, saying they were ignorant about stage attire.

This is not the first time the musician has been caught up in a social media storm as previously she had her images photoshopped and distributed on social media networks.

Zvakavapano-Mashavave told News Day yesterday that she was “a simple, natural artiste”, but it appeared that many people who followed her on social media did not appreciate her clothing tastes.

“This cyber bullying is my worst experience and I am tired of being torn apart. People must know that artistes are not what they are on stage, as they dress up for an act on stage depending on one’s artistic nature. I don’t see anything wrong with my stage costumes as they are unique to me since a costume is a piece of art along with the performance and it is what you are on stage, not offstage,” she said.

The musician said there was nothing wrong with her stage outfits, which she described as expensive.
